If Barack Obama wants to be taken seriously as a man of hope and change that will steady the economy, he needs to get Charles Rangel to resign his Chairmanship of the House Ways & Means Committee. Even the Washington Post knows Rangel is a political landmine and wants him out of the way so as not to hurt their savior. However, let's say Obama does try this. He's gonna have to use all the pressure he can muster from all his allies to make it happen. Rangel is a stubborn egomaniac who wouldn't go without a lot of shrieking. When you think about it, there might be less blood if he stayed on as Chairman and the MSM just ran interference like they usual do for The One. Either way, we should keep an eye on this story.
